[REL] Custom Districts

[Dzsozi (h03)]

 

With this script you are able to create your custom districts in MTA:SA, this is useful for almost "anything" (custom maps with your own districts, gang zones (which might require a little editing), protect zones, etc.)!
You can create your own districts in the districtC.lua file, an example is given.

Export functions:
- getDistrictName(element)
Get the custom district name of an element (works client and server side)
- onElementDistrictChange
This is a custom event, the source of this event is the element that changed district (currently working only client-side)
PARAMETERS: districtName - An integer representing the name of the current custom district

Note that the event works on client-side, but it is possible to do it on server-side if it's needed.

!! The source of the onElementDistrictChange event is the element that changed the district, could be a vehicle, a ped, a player, anything that is an element. !!

An example script for using the event and getting the district name is given in the exampleC.lua file, check that for usage and the example command.

Future versions MIGHT contain:
- Server-sided onElementDistrictChange event
- A command to add a district manually

Special thanks to for helping with the script to: Tails, pa3ck

Nice work!

i might use it in my Vice project

[Dzsozi (h03)]

Thanks!

That's what I did as well, I originally created it for VC, if you are interested I have the Vice City district names, positions and sizes already made in the table. You might have to change positions tho.

Absolutely agree. Masterpiece of scripting we have here. 56 lines of code in 3!!!!! lua files, and a separate export funtion is very reasonable for this case.

But the most important about this script - the guy was so genius, he didn't even bother making something new by himself. He simply renamed radar areas into "districs" - and BOOOM!!! It's a brand new entity for GTA SA!

[AfterAll14]

local radarArea = createRadarArea (0, 0, 100, 200, 255, 225, 255, 150 )
setElementData(radarArea, "name", "Example District Name", false)

function GetAreaName()
	local x, y = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
	for key, area in pairs(getElementsByType("radararea")) do
		local sizeX,sizeY = getRadarAreaSize(area)
		local rX,rY = getElementPosition(area)
		if x > rX and x < rX+sizeX and y>rY and y<rY+sizeY then
			return getElementData(area, "name")
		end
	end
end

same "resource" in 12 lines
